I realize most of my readers are past raising their own babies but this stuff is really cool and may have applications beyond just diapers. The new Stitch magazine features the “Babyville Boutique” line and guess who carries it? Hancock Southtown has a whole new display (on the endcap at the end of the left side of the cutting table as you are entering the store). Everything from plastic snaps to the water resistant “Pul” fabric which is used for making diaper covers to foldover elastic. You may have to buy some just because it’s so cute and has to be useful for something!

We’ve had several questions about finding the faux leather so hope this helps-

The softer, knit-backed leather used for the wool jacket is at Joann’s. Pretty sure this picture was taken at Joann in Shakopee. There is also some at Yorktown and Ridgedale stores. Word has it that there is none in Woodbury. At the Yorktown store it is in the middle of the fabric section, right side of the aisle, at eye level.

The gray, flannel-backed, and still supple leather used in the bags this past Club is available at the Southtown Hancock store. It’s on long upright tubes in the home dec section.

Hope that helps. We also have one unused copy of the Hibiscus Shirt (Laurel’s gold silk cotton) if anyone is interested in it.

The week of Club meetings started out warm and hard to think of wearing wool but quickly went to chilly and wool and layers felt good. Lots of good show and tell-here are a few details:
At Treadle, Pat showed a tie purse from ASG (scroll down-it’s the second pattern).
Good directions for the One Seam Collar, aka Express Collar.
Kristin’s Faux Leather Trim Jacket, Vogue 2232, is not available for sale unless you find a random copy on eBay. There are a few people in line to borrow the pattern. Email if interested.

The format of our website will be changing sometime this week so look twice before you decide you are in the wrong place. Calendar has been updated and classes are listed by location. We’re doing some new serger classes during the winter-flatlock skirt, totally serger tee, napkins and scarves and yoga pants/leggings. Expand your serger horizons and make a few gifts/garments in the process. There’s also a class for making a faux leather bag.
